The Puyallup ranked high in steelhead harvest in the 60s and 80s. Probably the 50s too, but I don't think I've seen records back that far. There are two reasons why the Puyallup ranked high. First, it is close to urban areas, so it was within easy reach and access to large numbers of anglers. It wasn't necessarily more productive of steelhead than other similar sized river systems. Second, it produced a lot of steelhead in the 80s because it received massive plants of hatchery steelhead during a time period when smolt to adult return rates were good, and it was close to a large number of anglers.

Third, if Evo's mom really loved Evo, she would put all his belongings out on the front porch (not that most trailers really have traditional porches) and change the locks. Tough love is the best love for deadbeats cuz it forces them to grow up and take their rightful place in society by, for instance, supporting themselves.
